Today is Victory Day in Estonia.
We know freedom is not self-evident – freedom must be fought for and it is worth fighting for. That is what we did in our Independence War 104 years ago.
Now we must help Ukraine win the war for freedom and justice.

Estonia is closely following the development of the situation in Russia and exchanging information with allies.
I can assure that there is no direct threat to our country.
Border security has been strengthened. I also urge our people not to travel to any part of Russia.

Spoke to @Bloomberg in #Singapore.
The world is increasingly interconnected and intertwined. So we must understand that the security of our regions is connected as well.
This is why we must continue supporting #Ukraine in its fight against the aggressor.

Terrorist state Russia has now turned water into a weapon. Destroying #NovaKakhovka dam is a war crime affecting countless civilians and bringing ecocide and mass destruction.
We must stop this cycle of aggression by helping Ukraine to victory and delivering full accountability.

We signed MoU between Enterprise #Estonia and Enterprise #Singapore.
We share a common vision for a thriving business environment and a vibrant startup culture, with real thinkers, developers, and solution providers.
Let's build on that and make our cooperation even stronger.

Thank you for the good discussion, Deputy Prime Minister @LawrenceWongST and IT minister @joteo_ylm.

One vital precondition for creating a personalized state is also trust and this trust comes by state guaranteed digital identity.
We could solve many problems we have online when people would be identified like in the real world. 4/

We must also focus on trusted connectivity and on resilience, including cybersecurity.
This includes developing physical infrastructure but also capacity building to ensure knowledge and skills needed to navigate cyberspace.
Adding security is not an option, it’s a must. 3/

This is behind the idea of the personalized state – a vision that my government has put in focus.
This means taking the tools of the internet economy – such as data, personalization, design and automation – and based on that reimagining how government provides public goods. 2/

Highlighted in my speech @AsiaTechxSG that Estonia’s vision is resilient, responsive and open governance.
It’s not enough for the state to get online. Once online, the state needs to constantly adapt to keep up with the people. 1/
